But it says Sony PlayStation on it

Gosh that is slick, wonderful design and looks nearly prestine. Hope it can make it to a museum one day.

That’s a great point, I hadn’t even noticed the absence of UV degradation until you mentioned it. It likely hasn’t seen an undrawn curtain for most of it’s existence

It seems that it is missing the play/pause button and the CD tray's front.

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Woah, a CD tray you're right! I was imagining it slot loaded like a Wii, but I reckon that wasn't around or too expensive hah. Shame about the missing bits

[–] lIlIllIlIIIllIlIlII@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

I noticed it because in the article there is a photo of the previous known Playstation and has something that this one is missing at the front.

I wonder what this would go for on auction? 500k?

[–] lIlIllIlIIIllIlIlII@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

The previous one was 360k.

[–] QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Sweet. Got any games for it? The Legend of Bandicoot maybe?

[–] Flamangoman@leminal.space 18 points 2 days ago

Metal Gear Mario perhaps?

[–] FartsWithAnAccent@fedia.io 14 points 2 days ago

Ha! Right you are Ken!

Now over to Guy LeDouche with Sinkers and Floaters!

Oh, different Ken?

Sorry.

This is, at least for me, the holy grail of videogames relics.

I'm still super fond of the Net Yaroze development PlayStations. This would be cool to have, but I'm not sure what you could do with it.

[–] ShinkanTrain@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

Develop games for the PlayStation

[–] heavy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 days ago

Sick, this is a genuinely cool piece of hardware history I wish we had a chance to explore more.

[–] Cris_Color@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You should cross-post to !cassettefuturism@lemm.ee! Its not a perfect fit but this is such a beautiful object, I'm sure folks there would love to see it!

[–] lIlIllIlIIIllIlIlII@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

Done, thanks!

[–] makingStuffForFun@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Play / Pause button is missing.

Sorry mate, the most I can give you is $20. Take it or leave it.

[–] lIlIllIlIIIllIlIlII@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 days ago

$30 and its yours.

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

That is a beautiful system.

[–] sevenOfKnives@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

i wonder how much hardware is added besides the CD drive...

[–] CaptDust@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

I bet it has a killer sound processor
